The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
This is not a one-off event and we should expect more of the same from all those working either externally or within to expunge faithful Catholic teaching from our schools.
Rather than defend and explain what the Church teaches to those that claim offense, the sad reaction is to placate the activists by saying that they will be giving the wording a "relook" to see if they can explain the Church's teaching better. We can be assured that any attempts to reword Catholic teaching on this subject by will be a watered down version of the truth.
We have nothing to apologize for and should to the contrary be sharing the truth of the Church's teaching on this subject at every opportunity. We are obligated to share our faith, all of it, with those that do not know it. It's time to be playing offence, not defence. This is what our society needs most of all and in particular our children.
